"I took them to change into enemy uniforms."
"Enemy uniforms?"
"That's right."
Then.
Ye Qingcheng explained her thoughts.
this…
After hearing this, everyone felt that Ye Qingcheng was too bold, but it was also a good plan.
Soon, Ye Qingcheng led ten soldiers down the city wall and silently killed ten enemy soldiers. Afterward, Ye Qingcheng had them change into the enemy's battle uniforms.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Qingcheng ordered the soldiers who had changed into battle uniforms to provide cover, and then ordered twenty more soldiers to come down and change into enemy battle uniforms.
In this way, the soldiers were sent out of the city one by one, and all of them changed into battle uniforms. This process was repeated until dawn, when more than 5,000 of our troops had infiltrated the enemy ranks.
Ye Qingcheng returned to the military camp and ordered Qin Mohan and the others to attack the enemy.
Immediately, the enemy forces also began to counterattack and besiege the city.
The enemy was about to attack.
Ye Qingcheng then instructed the soldiers, who had changed into battle uniforms, to pretend to follow the attack while retreating in the chaos, until they reached the enemy's command post.
Several thousand soldiers captured the general with their swords. Upon seeing their general captured, the soldiers scattered and became completely disorganized.
A force of over 100,000 was utterly routed by a force of only tens of thousands.
And take this opportunity.
Qin Mohan also led tens of thousands of soldiers out of the city, where they killed the enemy soldiers and then made all the soldiers change into the enemy's battle uniforms.
Immediately afterwards.
Thus, an empty city was left for the enemy forces of the other three sides.
At this moment, the enemy forces from the other three sides also launched their attacks, and in just a short while, the city gates of all three sides were breached.
Hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, shouting loudly, poured into the city.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qingcheng's lips curled into a smile.
He ordered his 50,000 soldiers to fire flaming arrows into the city.
At this moment, the straw, bedding, and other materials that had been spread out in the city quickly caught fire upon contact with the flames.
Ahhh!
Immediately, screams echoed through the city. The enemy troops who had poured into the city realized they had been tricked and rushed back out of the city gate.
Because the city gate was so small, the enemy soldiers who poured out were jostling each other as they fled for their lives.
Before they could react, they were ambushed and killed by soldiers who had been lying in ambush on both sides.
Ahhh!
In a short time.
Screams echoed throughout the heavens and the earth.
Hundreds of thousands of enemy soldiers were either plundered and killed, burned to death inside the city, or jumped off the city walls and died.
that's all.
The enemy forces of the three kingdoms were thus defeated.
The fighting in the northern border region thus came to an end.
However, Ye Qingcheng and Qin Mohan had not yet had time to rejoice over the great victory in the battle.
News then spread from the capital that the Empress Dowager had passed away.
Upon hearing the news, Ye Qingcheng felt utterly disoriented and found it very difficult to accept.
However, the most urgent task is to get back to Beijing.
Soon the two mounted their horses and headed towards the capital.
Along the way, the two encountered many assassination attempts, but their combat skills were off the charts, and they wiped them all out on their way back.
They rode swiftly, and arrived two days later.
The two finally arrived in the capital.
However, just as they were about to enter the city, they were stopped.
However, after receiving the news, the Crown Prince, in order to keep everyone trapped in the palace, still ordered that the two of them be allowed to leave.
After entering the palace, the two knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager's body with grief on their faces.
At this moment, the Emperor was very pleased to see the two of them return safely and to learn about the war in the northern frontier.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the very day that the Empress Dowager was about to be buried and enter the imperial mausoleum.
The Crown Prince immediately ordered Prime Minister Ye to lead three thousand elite soldiers into the palace.
Upon seeing this, the Emperor asked, "Prime Minister Ye, what are you trying to do?"
Ye Jizheng did not reply, but looked at the Crown Prince: "Your Highness, everything has been arranged as you instructed."
Um?
Upon hearing this, the Emperor's face darkened, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "Crown Prince, what are you trying to do?"
"Your Majesty, I am pleased to learn of the passing of my grandmother. She dedicated her life to the affairs of the state, and I fear that you may suffer the same fate. Therefore, I believe it would be best for you to abdicate."
"How dare you, Crown Prince! Who gave you the audacity to speak to the Emperor like that?"
"Hmph, Seventh Prince, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. So today, Father had better hand over the throne, or don't blame me..."
"Ha! Crown Prince, are you trying to force me to abdicate?"
"That's right, Ye Qingcheng. I really didn't expect you to be so extraordinary. But after today, as long as you are willing to follow me, I will spare your life."
"You?"
“That’s right. I have deployed 30,000 elite troops throughout the entire imperial city. Anyone who dares to resist will die.”
"Your Majesty, you are getting old now. Why not give the position to the Crown Prince? After all, he is the heir apparent, and the position will be his sooner or later," the Empress said with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, what did you say?" The eldest princess asked the empress with a cold expression after hearing this.
The Empress looked at her.
"Qing'er, considering how close you are to me, I will spare your life."
"presumptuous."
The Emperor looked at the Empress, his face filled with fury.
but.
The empress showed no fear.
"Your Majesty, hand over the position, or don't blame me today."
"Ha! You guys?"
"That's right."
"Guards! Seize everyone in here!"
At the Empress's command, countless soldiers rushed in, drawing their broadswords and pointing them at Ye Qingcheng and her entourage.
Upon seeing this, the emperor's face grew even more gloomy.
"I had been hoping you might have come to your senses, but now it seems impossible."
